Discontinuous Groups and Automorphic Functions

Share this page

J Lehner

Much has been written on the theory of discontinuous groups and
automorphic functions since 1880, when the subject received its first
formulation. The purpose of this book is to bring together in one place both
the classical and modern aspects of the theory, and to present them clearly
and in a modern language and notation. The emphasis in this book is on the
fundamental parts of the subject.

The book is directed to three classes of readers: graduate students
approaching the subject for the first time, mature mathematicians who wish to
gain some knowledge and understanding of automorphic function theory, and
experts.
